Import Tips
• Provide purity certification (e.g
• >99.999% Si) and resistivity specs to confirm semiconductor-grade classification
• Declare exact weight and dimensions; under-declaring risks penalties as customs weighs individually
• Avoid shipping sliced wafers, which shift to HTS 3818 as semiconductor media
